There are some that still think it's some infernal machine the work of demons. If it doesn't burn gasoline the same as all other vehicles then there is some evil magic involved.

I've spoken to some people who've almost warded me off with a hex sign when I mentioned the word 'hybrid'.

My Salesman is very frustrated 'cuz there just aren't enough Prius's to meet the demand! My 2007 Prius Touring drives just like a good compact, comfortable w/ the leather seats (Package 6 - loaded!) and I just cruise along at any speed until 450 miles have gone by - What? only 10 gallons????

I've had two other Toyotas - Previa Vans ('91 & '92) and the '91 went 230,000 with only the stupid 'keep-full' oil system needing work on both.

If what I'm driving is a 'Demon' why is it 'heavenly white?'

p.s. - haven't seen this anywhere else in here, but floored, the little 'demon' is pulling hard passing through 100MPH!!!!

Also, at our church, we have committed to going 'Green' and I have proposed parking signs up front in the parking lot 'Parking for Hybrids Only'
